Light facilitates plant growth through the process of photosynthesis.

Light interacts with the roots to make plants grow.

Light increases the thickness of the cell wall so the plant can grow toward the sun.

Light does not need a medium to travel.

Light travels in transverse waves.

Light travels in compression waves.

Light travels faster through solids than liquids.

Why does red have the least amount of energy in the visible light spectrum?

It has a long wavelength and low frequency.

It is part of the ultraviolet light spectrum.

It has a short wavelength and short frequency.

It absorbs all the other colors in the spectrum.

Which of the following statements correctly compares light and sound?

Light travels fastest without a medium to pass through, while sound travels fastest in solids.

Light requires a medium to travel through, while sound can travel through a vacuum.

Light waves are compressions, while sound waves are transverse.

Light waves are produced by the vibration of particles, just like sound waves.

Which of the following best describes a characteristic of a sound wave?

Sound waves are caused by vibrations and travel through matter.

Sound waves travel faster in a vacuum than in air.

Sound waves can only travel in one direction.

Sound waves do not require a medium and can travel through empty space.

Which of the following are examples of refraction? Select 3 correct answers.

White lights shining through a prism and making a rainbow

A flower stem in a vase of water appearing bent

The sun looking flat as it is setting

The sun bouncing off an aluminum shade in a car window

In a science experiment, students are testing how sound travels through different materials. They use a metal rod, a container of water, and a balloon filled with air. They strike a tuning fork and place it against each material. Based on the experiment, which statement correctly describes the relative speed of sound through these materials?

Sound will travel fastest through the metal rod, slower through the water, and slowest through the air in the balloon.

Sound will travel slowest through the metal rod, faster through the water, and fastest through the air in the balloon.

Sound will travel at the same speed through the metal rod, water, and air in the balloon.

Sound will travel slowest through the metal rod, faster through the air in the balloon, and fastest through the water.

Which statement best explains the relationship between vibration and the production of sound—

Vibration of an object creates sound waves, which we can hear.

Vibration creates light waves, which we can see.

Vibration stops the production of sound waves in a medium.

Vibration only occurs in liquids and has no effect on the production of sound waves.

Which of the following is an application of sound commonly found in the home or community?

Using a doorbell to alert someone that there is a visitor at the door.

Using a flashlight to see in a dark room late at night.

Using a fan to cool down a room in the middle of the summer.

Using a thermometer to measure temperature outside in winter.

A student pulls back the marble on the right as shown. What will most likely happen when the student releases the marble?

The energy from the right-hand marble will transfer to the other marbles.

Only the marble next to the right marble will move.

All the marbles will move together toward the right.

Which of the following are true statements about force and objects? Choose 2 correct answers.

When two objects interact, each exerts a force on the other.

Forces can transfer energy between objects which can cause changes in their motion.

When two objects interact, the bigger object will exert its force on the smaller object, but the smaller object does not exert its force on the bigger object.

Kinetic energy doubles each minute an object is in motion.

Energy is created when two objects collide.

A student conducts an experiment to determine how far a hockey puck travels on different surfaces when the same amount of force is applied. She recorded the data below. (Refer to the bar graph showing distances traveled on Ice, Wood, and Carpet.) Which of these is the best inference to make from these results?

The hockey puck traveled the least distance on the carpet because of friction.

The hockey puck traveled the farthest on the ice because of gravity.

The hockey puck’s energy transferred more to the ice than the wood or carpet.

More force would be required to move the hockey puck the same distance on the wooden floor as the carpeted floor.

A student plans an experiment to determine how speed impacts the intensity of a collision. The student places a wooden ramp on top of 1, 2, 3 or 4 books, and then lets go of a toy car to see how big of a crash it will have against a brick wall. What is the independent variable in this experiment?

The gravitational pull of the wall

A student notices that he can throw a baseball farther when there is less wind resistance. This is because—

Wind causes friction that slows the ball down

Gravity is stronger on windy days

The wind turns the ball’s mechanical energy into thermal energy

Kinetic energy is stronger in direct sunlight

A ball is thrown in outer space, away from any gravitational pulls. What will most likely happen to the ball?

It will continue to move in the same direction until another force acts upon it.

It will spin slowly in circles until it runs out of energy.

Its atoms will collapse and form a black hole.

It will gradually increase in energy until it catches fire and burns away.

Plants and animals are important natural resources on Earth. Which of the following correctly describes attributes of plants and animals as natural resources? Choose 2 correct answers.

Plants: Renewable, because they can grow back from seeds and spores

Animals: Nonrenewable, because once a species is extinct, it cannot be replaced.

Plants: Inorganic, because they are part of the soil and earth.

Animals: Recyclable, because they can be reused in food chains and ecosystems.

Two students arm-wrestle, as shown in this picture. Both students push as hard as they can against the other, but neither arm moves. What is a conclusion that we can draw from this?

The students used the same amount of force.

Student B used more force than Student A.

Student A used more force than Student B.

There is not enough information to draw a conclusion.

With objects of the same mass, the greater the force—

The greater the change in motion

The less change in motion there will be

The more likely it is that the motion will stay the same

The less electrical charge there will be

Which of the following is another way of transforming energy from the Sun?

Plants use sunlight for photosynthesis to make food.

Sunlight helps us see during the day.
